I'm not the only one who missed you.
You said you'd be right back, but then you were gone.
Sometimes I pretend to be with you.
We wait in the back seat, like when we were young.
Her rhythm holds me to the ground.
I never could sing like her
I never did talk that loud
A girl from the other side of town,
An Alabama tattoo on her arm.

Wait and See

Pop cliches and teenage angst, what would I do without them.
We're all grown up and we're all moved out, with nothing to say about it.
I used to wake up afraid to face the day, cus last night was never better.
And then she'd say boy why don't you just wait for me to leave him.
She'd say: Keep it up boy. Wait and see.
Soda pop love never stopped us, you just went away.
when push came to shove there never was us and I just couldn't wait.
Cause last night was never better.
Wait and see.

Orpheus and Lot

Eyes glued on the T.V. screen.
But I knew that you were looking at me.
There's nothing left to talk about,
The night I left the sun still came up.
There's nothing left to talk about,
Turn your head and I'll be gone.
Don't look back at me
There's nothing left to see
Don't look back at me
There's nothing left
Orpheus and Lot
Both their women lost
Turn the T.V. off
But don't look away from me.

Ain't no magic about it, no secret words or handshakes. Ain't no fevered dreams chasing ghosts away.
She's Just a girl but I'm afraid
She's not a California girl or an actress with a dream. But whenever I'm with her all I see is silver screen.
Ain't no static about it, don't you know she's clear as day. Ain't no satellite bouncing radio waves.
She's Just a girl but I'm afraid
So I'll take her to the movies,
Buy her popcorn and lemonade,
and she'll get lost in the moment
until all we are is Stardust Memories.
Ain't no magic about it, no secret words or handshakes. Ain't no fevered dreams chasing ghosts away.
She's Just a girl but I'm afraid

Ordinary Dream

When did my life become such an ordinary dream?
And all my dreams such ordinary things?
Like going out to the movies with a girl on my arm.
Find a place to call home, leave the porch light on.
Used to dream about dragons and damsels
But now I'm too tired to change the channel.
When did my life become such an ordinary dream?
Other people walk around and talk about their kids.
Other people Joke about all the things they've done.
But we Just sit around waiting for the telephone to ring.
Take the tape out of its case.
rewind the reel until it stops.
lift the needle up and over.
find your favorite track.
listen to the answering machine.
she won't call back.
